Summary

A simple Google Chrome extension to disable autoplay for videos from your YouTube Watch Later playlist.

I usually open videos in a new tab from my Watch Later playlist, which automatically has the list=WL querystring parameter. I also don’t usually watch videos in the order I added them to my Watch Later playlist. Instead of trying to hack YouTube’s massive amounts of JavaScript, this plugin does exactly what I need.

This extension doesn't track any of your data usage, and is open sourced at https://github.com/shakeelmohamed/dont-watch-later

Funciona muy bien, solo que tienes que abrirlo como pestaña nueva. Eso es bueno, ya que de alguna manera te deja usarlo de la manera normal también si solo das click en el video.

Does exactly what I wanted it to, which is playing a video from my Watch Later, instead of loading the whole list, enabling YouTube to run a lot faster for me.

Not quite what I was looking for. I use playlist to group videos, but don't want it to go to the next one once I finish a video. I was hoping this extension would simply prevent from loading the next video in the playlist, but sadly it just takes redirects you to the basic non-playlist URL.
